An essay is not a display of opinions.
It is an invitation into an argument.

The Model Is Not the World: Representation, Prediction, and Scientific Realism
When a model is knowingly simplified or even false yet predicts reliably, does its success show that a theory describes reality? This essay distinguishes predictive success, structural similarity, and mechanistic explanation, arguing that realism gains credibility from the convergence of independent practices rather than the accuracy of a single model.
‘When I Say It Hurts’: Private Experience, Testimony, and the Ethics of Care
Pain seems maximally private, yet must enter diagnosis through language. Drawing on the private-language problem, this essay treats first-person authority neither as an infallible inner report nor as data replaceable by external metrics, but as a discursive position requiring institutional recognition.
Do We Still Share a World?
Personalized feeds are often said to create multiple realities. This essay separates factual disagreement, divided attention, and the breakdown of a common world. Public reality does not require identical content; it requires institutions for shared testing, response, and revision.
The next argument could begin with you.
